As he caters to the whims of his wealthy clients, he often has to overcome the impulse to run as far away from them as he can, as these tourists are sometimes more dangerous than a pride of lions! Full of outrageous-but-true tales of the people and animals he has encountered - the young woman who rejected the recommended safari-friendly khaki to wear a more fashionable hot pink ensemble the drunk, half-naked missing tourist who happened to be a member of the British royal family the squirrel that overdosed on malaria pills the monkeys with an underwear fetish and last, but by no means least, Spielberg the Japanese tourist who wanted a repeat performance of Allison's narrow escape from a pair of charging lionesses so he could videotape it - these hilarious stories reveal Allison's good-natured scorn for himself, as well as others.

In the tradition of Bill Bryson, a new writer brings us the lively adventures and biting wit of an African safari guide.
